Scout Picks

Gameweek 8 Scout Picks retains faith in Salah

We have kept faith in two of Liverpool’s most attacking players for the Gameweek 8 Scout Picks.

The visit of Leicester to Anfield has concerned some invested in Jurgen Klopp’s men but are still expecting a positive result.

The Scout Picks has been carefully put together using David, Neale, Paul and Geoff’s Scout Squad submissions from earlier in the week.

For this weekend we line up in a 4-3-3 formation and come in £0.5m under our budget of £83.0m.

Goalkeeper

Nick Pope has a favourable fixture this week as well as good form at home in 2019/20

Nick Pope (£4.6m) was a simple inclusion in the Scout Picks this week ahead of Burnley’s meeting with Everton at Turf Moor. The Clarets have already kept two clean sheets at home this season, against Southampton and Norwich, while Marco Silva’s men have found the net just once in three road trips. Meanwhile, Pope is currently fifth in the league for saves (24).

Defenders

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a regular inclusion in the Scout Picks this season

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.2m) remains a favourite of the Scout Squad panel, chosen as the best option in defence by three of them this week. Liverpool may not have kept a Premier League clean sheet at Anfield this season but they have conceded the fewest big chances of any side in the last four matches. Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold remains the top defender for chances created in that period, fashioning eight more than any other player in his position.

Nicolas Otamendi (£5.5m) continues to be the most nailed-on Manchester City defender, which should see him do well against Wolves this weekend. The visitors had another exerting Europa League encounter on Thursday night and had to play nine of the players who beat Watford in Gameweek 7. That is far from the ideal preparation for a trip to the Etihad Stadium when Wolves have had troubles in front of goal this season. Only four teams have scored fewer goals than them on the road in 2019/20, while Manchester City have conceded the fewest number of shots in the last four matches.

Matt Lowton (£4.5m) joins the Scout Picks as part of a Burnley defensive double-up. We’ve already covered the Clarets’ clean sheet potential in Gameweek 8, why it’s the right-back getting the nod is his creativity. Erik Pieters may have more assists of any other Burnley defender this season but Lowton has created more chances than any other colleague bar Ashley Westwood. 

Despite graduating from the £4.0m bracket, John Lundstram (£4.5m) can still offer plenty of value in Gameweek 8. Watford remain in the bottom three for big chances this season while Sheffield United kept a clean sheet on their last away trip. Meanwhile, Lundstram continues to be a creative force for the Blades, only four players in the whole league fashioning more big chances than him in the first seven matches.

Midfielders

Salah has been reliable in home matches in all competitions this season

The Scout Squad have retained faith in Mohamed Salah (£12.5m), even ahead of a tricky meeting with Leicester City. The Foxes defence has been in good shape in recent weeks but Salah has done very well at Anfield this season. Every Premier League match there in 2019/20 has seen him produce attacking returns and if we factor in the latest Champions League outing, he has six goals in all competitions in front of his own fans this season.

A midweek rest for Raheem Sterling (£12.1m) should put him in a good place for the visit of Wolves to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Not only did the midfielder get most of the Dinamo Zagreb off, he also provided a goal and assist when he took to the pitch as a substitute. As already mentioned, Wolves have not had the best preparation for this trip and have conceded in each of their last two away matches. Gameweek 8 was another one in which we also like the prospects of Aguero but we could not quite squeeze him and Sterling into the line-up, the latter definitely a much more likely starter this weekend.

Two goals in two for John McGinn (£5.8m) has firmly placed the Aston Villa midfielder on the Fantasy radar once again. So far this season, only two players have registered more shots on target than McGinn, which bodes well for a trip to Norwich this weekend. The Canaries have conceded 15 goals in the first seven matches, only Watford have shipped more, and are yet to keep a clean sheet at Carrow Road in 2019/20.

Forwards

Fresh from a midweek rest, Aubameyang is back in the Scout Picks once again

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.0m) is still yet to blank this season so it is hard to see his scoring run ending in a home match against Bournemouth. The Cherries have conceded five times in their three away matches this season and have historically struggled at the Emirates Stadium.

Tammy Abraham (£7.6m) looks in a good place to reward his owners’ patience in Gameweek 8. In the last four matches, he is behind only Aguero for shots in the box and tops the league for efforts on target. A continuation of that trend at a Southampton side without a clean sheet at home this season should see Abraham do well.

Gameweek 8 should be the week that Teemu Pukki (£7.2m) returns to the Fantasy conversation. While Norwich have struggled on the road this season, they have been full of goals at Carrow Road. Pukki himself has averaged 13.3 points per game there in 2019/20 while Aston Villa have conceded seven goals across their three away matches so far.

Substitutes

Given that we fancy Sheffield United’s clean sheet chances this weekend, it makes sense to include Dean Henderson (£4.5m) on the bench. He was selected by three of our Scout Squad panel.

Harry Maguire (£5.5m) came close to making it into the final XI based on Newcastle’s problems in front of goal this season. Ahead of hosting Manchester United, the Magpies are yet to score more than once in a match this season and have blanked twice at home already.

John Fleck (£4.8m) could be a tidy differential for anyone looking to capitalise on Sheffield United’s favourable trip to Watford. He is joint-top among his colleagues for chances created over the last four matches and is second for shots inside the box.

As we discovered earlier this week, Chris Wood (£6.2m) stands a good chance of continuing his scoring run when Everton come to Turf Moor. In the last four Gameweeks, only three players have been afforded more big chances than the Burnley striker.

The Captain

The Scout Picks now has a captain for the 2019/20 campaign.

This skipper is chosen using the conclusions of the latest Captain Sensible article and a four-way vote between David, Neale, Paul and Geoff.

Because the use of Fantasy Football Scout data is used so heavily in this process, the captain we choose each Gameweek will be known only to those who have signed up to Membership for the 2019/20 season.

It will be revealed to the public only when the deadline for the Gameweek has passed.

Community Champion

Representing the community against the Scout Picks in Gameweek 8 is Vobinho in Wengerland.

They have gone for a 3-4-3 of Dúbravka; Holebas, Schär, Alonso; Zaha, D Silva, Willian, Saka; Firmino, Aguero (c), Kane.

The community member who beats our picks by the biggest margin over the campaign will win a £100 Amazon Voucher and a place in our Contributors and Moderators League for the following season.

It was a win for the Community Champion in Gameweek 7 as The Greenback Boogie won by a close 54-52 scoreline.

irfansheikh‘s winning margin of 16 points from Gameweek 7 is the latest score to beat for the 2019/20 season.

    Sterling or Auba as captain and why?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      City at home
      Nuff said

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'd captain Auba if I had him.

      Two teams with no real defences...goalfest!

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling, city can score 8 at home. Arsenal inconsistent

      1. Bushman
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        This. Sterling has higher ceiling.

  2. Who are all Lukakus
    • 7 Years

    Pope
    TAA Ota Lund
    Sterling(c) Mane(v) KDB Mount
    Pukki Haller Tammy
    Sub: Button Cantwell Rico Soy
    1FT 0.7itb
    Gtg?
    Bench order: Rico or Soy first?

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Rico

  3. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Hold or trade KDB?

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on your bench

    2. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I will trade, I never rely on “he will be back next...” kind of comments as I suffered from the similar before. 10M is too much to sit on the bench.

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He has two weeks to recover (3 if you count this week), International break after this weekend.

        1. Kane Train
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Groins can be horrible to recover. Took me 12 weeks to fully recover and get movement back properly

          1. Slitherene
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            KdB will get World Class treatment.

            1. Kane Train
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              You’d hope so. Can’t say I was given that haha

          2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            By Peps comments it seems a minor strain hence why he’s saying back after IB and it’s not a big problem.

    3. Bushman
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I swapped for Mahrez as I'm already dipping into my bench for Matip, maybe Cantwell and Adrian. If BSilva gets a ban, Mahrez should get a prolonged run in the team and he always looks like scoring

      1. Bushman
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Plus I sold him for 9.8 and I'll be able to get him back for 9.8 or 9.9 so no loss

  4. Runaway
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Which duo would you prefer after this GW:

    A) Maddison + Wilson

    B) Yarmolenko + Vardy

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      A

  5. smix
    • 8 Years

    Pope
    Lundstram - Cresswell - Otamendi
    Sterling(c) Salah Mount Mcginn
    Aguero Pukki (vc) Abraham
    Button - Cantwell - KWP - Montoya

    GTG ?

  6. lekalatch

    Why’s everyone taking KDB out?

    1. smix
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Getting in Sterling / Mahrez as city expected to hammer wolves

    Can't afford to go without MCI cover.

    KdB + Heaton -> Sterling(c) + Button (-4)??

  9. smix
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Cresswell looking a decent prospect or will Fabs absence have a major impact ?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      The reserve WHU GK is supposed to be absolute crap so you'll have to hope he doesn't face too many shots

    2. redsallstars
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

        Why will Mahrez be benched ??

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          I personally think Phil Foden might get a game this week to upset the apple cart

      2. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        There is always a risk, but why do you think he will this week?

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Has played 180 mins this week and has 2 int games for Algeria next week. Pep will likely use Bilva before he serves his suspension. Sterling Aguero Bilva front 3 imo

          1. Peter Ouch
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years

            Hmmm interesting

    4. Bushman

      Nice I am playing it safe with C. Sterling and Mahrez VC. Mahrez looks on form though

      Have you made the transfer. Aguero next 4 looks amazing, James to Mcginn Yarmolenko looks better move to me?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers - I spooked myself by reading a load of City forum predicted XIs without Aguero so just did it anyways. I did think about losing James for these two.

          Never know with pep. Did consider it myself but 3 home games in next 4 look too good so hoping Aguero starts esp since not in Argentina squad

            That case it will happen after int brk..but not today...sure jesus will nod ahead against wolves

              Based on what? Like I say can never be sure with pep but Aguero had a niggle last game which was why he was benched

      2. # Young Gun SEAMUS #
        • 12 Years

        Aguero might be benched this week after played 89 min in ucl

        1. Pat Bonner

          • 12 Years

          Never know with pep but those next 3 home games for Aguero!

          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          CL was Tuesday, City playing Sunday, so there's a big gap.

          Wolves played Europa on Thursday, so they'll be far more knackered than City.

          Has City demolition job written all over it

      3. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        The reason I'm not moving Aguero to Auba. 3 juicy home games and a nice away fixture...would be madness to sell.

        I think the fixture ticker is being a bit kind to Arsenal given their performances as a team. Sheffield away and Palace at home after this week aren't amazing fixtures for goalscoring

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Agreed. Aguero out could massively backfire

          Going without Liverpool attacker would be a complete madness, right? Looking at next 5 and thinking if it could pay off...

            If Salah blanks again & looks bad again. Selling him till gw 13 may work out

              4 years, 5 months ago

              It could but Spurs & united aren't tough fixtures for Liverpool and City without Laporte reminds me if a 4-3 Liverpool win years back

                I'm not brave enough to do it but depending on how you spread the cash it could pay off. I went Mo-less last season an brought in Kane last season when their fixtures were supposedly poor and my rank took a massive dive which took weeks to recover from so not doing it again.

                bayern scored 7 goals against tottenham so think liverpool could score atleast 3 against them at home and united and villa away arent terrible fixtures

                You need at least one of the 3 front.

                Fixtures are tough but they have 7/7.
                They are the only ones scoring from this team.
                Last week was a rare case.

                I wouldn't go without any of them but I also wouldn't double up

                United and spurs are very easy fixtures

                  They aren't easy.
                  Pool is always struggling at old Trafford.
                  Don't forget it's a derby, it doesn't matter what form they are in.

                Ceballos to Mount, McGinn, Yarno, Buendia or Maddison (long term) - which ever you prefer.

              People with a wildcard still intact... Are you considering 2 transfers to get in Auba for Salah? I can't see my self captaining Salah for a while and Auba has great fixtures...

                • 5 Years

                Don't have WC left myself.
                But this move is enticing enough for me too.
                Can get Mo back in gw 13/14

                • 14 Years

                considering it but it feels like it will backfire massively

              Thoughts here ?

              A) Ceballos out for McGinn/Yarmolenko

              B) save and next week Digne and Ceballos to Soy and Madders

                Priced out on Yarmolenko though, Ceballos to McGinn or save ?

                • 6 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                B as Lundstram coming in is fine and i'd even consider starting ahead of Ceballos as could get a 1 pointer off the bench.

              4 years, 5 months ago

              Last night I did KDB to Son.

              I am still pondering Kun to Auba for -4 which will give me the following with no City

              Pope
              Rico TAA Lund
              McGinn Salah Son Mount
              Firmino Auba Pukki

              Button Cantwell Dunk Aurier

              I may just then continue without City as there are other moves I want to make for GW9.

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Would you captain Auba if you brought him in?

                1. FOO FIGHTER
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  No, capping Salah.

                  My fear is a no show from Kun or 20 minute blank.

                  1. Miguel Sanchez
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    Then I wouldn't make the move. Good luck this week. That's a nice XI with Kun in

                No City with their next 4 fixtures could be a rank killer

              Really tempted with this. Fancy a wide open game at the emirates this weekend.
              Worth it?

              Out: Salah & Greenwood
              In: Saka & Aubameyang
